Patient's question:
I have already been experiencing irregular menstruation for the past six months, and recently I've also been dealing with breast tenderness due to irregular menstruation. I would like to consult on how to deal with breast tenderness caused by irregular menstruation.Doctor's answer:
In the past half year, menstrual irregularities have reappeared. First and foremost, there should be no stress, no exposure to cold, no overtime work, and no emotional disturbances to prevent these external factors from causing endocrine changes and disrupting menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used for conditioning, or an ultrasound and sex hormone test can be conducted to assess ovarian reserve function for targeted conditioning. Breast tenderness and hormone levels are related. If there are nodules or hard lumps, an ultrasound is necessary to check for fibroadenomas or severe breast hyperplasia. Cold compresses or traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. If the effect is not satisfactory, a mammogram may be required for further examination.
